Totally agree with u, another Canadian, wow! Way too much time spent idolising AB, and my husband agrees with me...and I wonder if he is really humble or just a good actor doing his job! I understand at commercial break he doesn't talk to anyone?

He gets paid big bucks for what he does and people worship him saying "aapko dekha to bhagwan ke Darshan ho gaye" get real people he is just an ordinary man who happens to be famous with his hard work and years of experience for his profession.

But yeh hain India mery jaan everything has to be overly done on tv.That's a great point actually; perhaps this is all orchestrated for TV at the end of the day! I am Canadian too btw! I hope you're a Canucks fan

If you have not lived in India, you have no idea how huge is Amitabh's fan base.He is one of the biggest star of more than 2 generations.Come on give we Indians a break!

Oh Trust me, anyone who hasn't lived in India still knows how but a deal he is. Clint Eastwood of the East. We get it. Trust me. We do.

Still...Eastwood isn't Jesus Christ to Americans, you see the parallel I'm making?

Actors and celebrities always have fans, it just seems that the Indian population is condition to turn the word "fanatic" into "religious fanatic" because cinema and it's related icons are not just a form of entertainment, they seem to be another religion all together.

hey it's true that they don't live in India but they have put some very nice points in their posts.truly no one is above God and we Indians treat Sachin,Dhoni etc etc as God.it is not right.we can take amithabhji as role model.we can admire his acting,his hosting skills but we shouldn't compare him with God.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't compare them/him to god; I'm just pointing out the ludicrousness in doing so . I'm one who believes admire individual's talent, but not constantly admire everything about them: Look, speech, stature. There's a difference between being a fan and being the fan that wants to sleep with a lock of the celebrities hair. In India it seems that the lock of hair would have a temple built for it, with worshipers coming from miles to offer prasad and take their blessings.

I guess people have no clue how talented and successful Amitabh Bacchan has truly been. The most striking thing about him is that he has been the best in whatever assignments he had done I think regardless of where an individual is from, which generation they are and which langauge they speak, it's almost impossible to miss how successful and talented Amitabh is. He isn't called "Big B" for nothing., be it acting or hosting a tv show. I wont compare him with the Khans coz almost everyone of them are like minnows in front of him, you can verify it with the Trp's of the show that the khans anchor. Acting wise we all know that he is one of the first superstar of bolly though there were many others preceding him, but this man is still running strong. I dont really believe that the Khans would be really acting at the age of 70. Apart from his professional success he belongs to a very illustrious family but still has a very humble outlook towards common people. Such person deserves and commands respect from everyone and he gets it from everyone without asking for it. "Deserves" is a very strong word. People who are humble don't feel they deserve, or are entitled to be praised at every given moment; those who wish to be humble themselves don't attempt to praise their idol till the sun rises the next day. If your quotation for being a "very illustrious family but still has a very humble outlook towards common people" is enough to encourage and justify the actions- or extreme reverence- of the general population- I'd suggest the following individuals get just as much if not more admiration than Mr. Bachan himself: Nelson Mendela, Mother Theresa, heck even Bill Gates.

There's something unique about the previous generation actors and that is that they dont really act like superstars in real life. This quality is absent in present generation self boasting successful stars. My point is, at the end of the day, stars or not they are people- regardless of how much you loved this dialogue from that movie or that dance from another one: They are people, not Olympians from Olympus walking among us. They are ONE of us.
